Ali Vali

A gunshot meant to end the legacy of the Casey Clan has left a weakened Cain fighting to regain control of her business while trying to protect her heart from the woman who left her. As the heat of violence rises, so does the passion.

The Devil Unleashed

Cain Casey is close to getting everything she wants. Her partner Emma is pregnant with their third child, her children are safe and happy, and her business is still thriving despite the FBI's vendetta. Life is perfect on the surface, but it's the underbelly that worries her. Her long-time enemy Juan Luis and his new partner, rogue agent Anthony Curtis have disappeared; her cousin Muriel has gotten serious about Shelby Philips, the FBI agent in charge of the Casey surveillance team; and her business partner, Remi Jatibon, is facing trouble from her new love Dallas's secret past. While Cain struggles to defeat a new enemy--a woman who just may be her equal when it comes to destroying those who stand against her family--an unimaginable betrayal may bring Cain's charmed life to an end. The fourth book in the Cain Casey Devil series

I like how Vali interweaves the title with Cain's philosophies about the devil. The scene in Talbot's office proves that Emma is a devoted partner and enhances Cain. Even though this book is a solid continuation of the series, it fizzled out compared to the previous ones. The most entertaining parts of this story were Brent's heavy-handed actions towards Cain and Emma's protection of Cain while she was in the hospital. I was tempted to skip the plot involving Dallas and Remi because it felt as if their story took away from the Casey Clan.  However, I stayed with it to see what Remi would give Johnny Moores as a Father of the Year award along with the Pritchard brothers. Instead of Dallas and Remi, it would have been nice to read more about Muriel either with Shelby or with someone else. Muriel had a lot of character in The Devil Inside, but she too seemed to loose that sharp wit she possessed at the warehouse in the first book. I haven't mentioned in my previous reviews that the sex scenes feel incomplete. The scenes have great build ups and climaxes, but they end abruptly. No fade to black, just...its over and let's talk about something other than the mind blowing sex we just had. Hopefully, this book is the calm before the storm that's to be released in The Devil's Orchard.

Whoa! I didn't see that coming. In this continued saga of the Casey Clan, there's more action, twists, and subplots, which makes this second installment a page-turner. Based on what Cain stands for, one can't help but root for her. She loves her family, is whole with Emma by her side, and constantly two steps ahead of her enemies, who I may add have committed some heinous acts of violence against her family. Cain's reaction brings the old proverb of "Revenge is a dish best served cold" to mind. On to book 3, Deal with the Devil.
